Flavor of SLO at its Best

The 4th Annual Flavor of SLO was a huge success! On Sunday, May 6, the efforts of six Cal Poly students, United Way staff, 40 helpful volunteers, and a wide variety of food, wine and beer vendors brought an afternoon of entertainment to our community. Ticket sales this year have exceeded the years past by $1,000, and all proceeds will benefit SLO County health and human service programs. Thank you to our sponsors The Mortgage House, The Krush 92.5 FM, and UGS for their contributions, and thank you to Dave Burns and History of Painters for providing the enjoyable music.

New Times' Best of SLO: You

KidSpree Volunteer Shoppers Needed

 

Make a difference in a child's life on July 22--volunteer to shop with a student for back to school clothing at Kohl's! Since 1997, United Way of SLO County has been coordinating shopping sprees for underserved children so that they could enter a new school year in new clothes that fit. We are now accepting applications from volunteers who would like to help children pick out new clothes. Shoppers will meet at Kohl's in both Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo before doors open to the public. Interested volunteers can visit www.volunteerslo.org for more information. Fingerprinting is required for all first-time volunteers, and is free.
